Infusion devices
Infusion Devices are medical devices used, or associated with devices used, in the infusion of fluids such as medications, intravenous solutions (such as saline, glucose, and electrolyte solutions), blood, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions into the body. This includes medical devices used in intravenous therapy as well as other infusion therapies.
PHARMAC's Infusion Devices category includes: Non-dedicated and consumable infusion devices not associated with infusion equipment and Infusion equipment and associated devices.

These proposals are the latest to arise from this process and we expect to consult on further provisional agreements with suppliers of urology and continence products, surgical suction chest and wound drainage and non-dedicated and consumable infusion devices throughout 2020.
